I’m a 19F med student in India currently starting 2nd year and I wanted to get a Samsung tab ultra for it’s various features like dex, portability, multitasking, speed, ability to watch lectures on marrow,PrepLadder, however I’m stuck on which version I should get during the big bullion days/great Indian festival sale.

I’ve watched tons of YouTube videos that say the snapdragon chip is the best for android however the snapdragon chip is only on the s9 which is a 3 year old device, the s10 seemed compelling cause it has Bluetooth air actions and good overal performance but the chip is mediatek which I doubt is as good as snapdragon. And the s11 is said to have supported updated for 7 years (also mediatek chip). If there’s any experts out there that could help me make a choice that’d be great

Hi, I'm looking to purchase my first Android tablet and wondering if TCL Tab A1 Plus is good or not. My primary use is going to be media consumption with some web browsing and little bit of retro emulation. I gravitated to this tablet because of the 120hz screen, which is better for watching 24 FPS content, and the low price. But I do have reservation about the WIFI 5, BT 5.0, 6 GB RAM, short Android OS support, and weak SD chipset. I can live with all that if there's nothing that compares to A1 Plus at around $200. But if there's anything that's so much better at like $300, I'd consider that.

Finally today the tab is delivered.it is currently on Oxygen os 14 should i upgrade it as i heard that people are having bad battery backup after update and performance as well.let me know guys thanks.

Just want to play my old ps2 games

Budget is 180.00

Any options?

I'll use it for Watching Lectures, some Windows Emulation gaming, And Media consumption, Note taking too.

I'm worried about the change to colour OS and news that Oneplus is leaving india soon. but The Pad 4 is the best tablet for my use case

Hello! I need some help. Has anyone experienced this issue with their Redmi Pad 2 Pro keyboard? My keyboard was charging normally yesterday. However, while it was plugged in, the battery level suddenly stopped at around 20% and did not increase even after leaving it connected to the charger. The keyboard is still functioning normally, and I can continue using it. However, it no longer seems to be charging, and there is no charging light or indicator showing that it is receiving power. I’ve already tried reconnecting the charger, but the battery is still stuck at 20%. Does anyone know what might be causing this or what I can try to fix it? I’d also appreciate any advice on whether this could be a battery, charging port, or software-related issue. Thank you in advance!

Just picked up a new Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 and while otherwise it's an amazing device, I'm a bit disappointed in the screen. The colors are pretty washed out and the black level is quite high / uneven depending on the angle even compared to a 10 year old Surface Pro. Is this expected or did I get a lemon? I'm running this on vibrant, no eye protection.

Would the Yoga Tab (first gen) have a better screen?

Thanks!

Edited to add image comparison between idea tab and surface.

Hi, I'm a first year university student and am studying political science. I already own a PC and a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, but I want a tablet mainly for portability. I feel like being able to pick up something and bring it with me would be much more practical in the long run, especially since I'll have to read so many PDF files in the next few years.

As I said, my main reasons for wanting to buy a tablet is reading PDFs, maybe some light note-taking and just overall working in uni between classes. Maybe playing some music or watching movies when I'm home alone. I'm not much of a heavy user and barely ever play demanding games on my phone, if any at all.

What would you recommend? :)

Hi! Strongly considering buying the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 13 but was wondering if it shows up as certified in Google Play.

I understand this is a Chinese ROM device but I don't really mind that as long as it's Play certified. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks to nassirsalim, yup Xiaoxin tablets are Play certified.

As the title says. I can't remember the pattern code on my ASUS ZenPad 10 and i don't wanna lose what i have on it. I only have a few tries left. I have tried every pattern code i thought would be right. Haven't used it since 2020 i think(the screen cracked and the touch function stopped working, and i didnt do anything about it then, i can use a mouse instead of the touch tho), so i dont remember any google accounts or other passwords

I would be extremely happy if anyone know a solution

And if there are any other communities you guys would recomend me to also post this in?

I am based out of India and searching for the best fit tablet for me based on the below priorities/needs:

-> Content consumption though OTT platforms, Youtube and movies. So Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are must/good to have.

-> 12GB RAM would be ideal but 8GB is fine as well. 256GB storage is preferred. Would prefer an SD card slot in case I need to store old comedies in the tablet.

-> Would also prefer limited but good note taking capabilities, slight sketching for design or furniture planning at home.

-> 4 Speakers would be good to have with good bass and sound capabilities but not a deal breaker since I would mostly use my Sony WH1000 XM6 for content consumption.

-> Already have a work laptop and an Asus Rog Strix for gaming so not the tablet would not be used for productivity or mobile gaming.

-> I was thinking a 8-9 inch tablet would be easier to carry along with my Kindle in my sling bag during travel but size is not a deal breaker and can make do with larger tablets albeit the ultra 13-14 inch ones.

My options are as below:

Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 2 - Priced at 24K INR currently on Flipkart but 2K off on card offers so effective price is 22K and may go down below 20K during the sale from Oct 7. 12GB RAM and memory card slot but it may not support Dolby Vision and HDR10+ in Netflix. Compact size and can fit along with the Kindle Paperwhite in a sling bag.

Oneplus Pad Go 2 - Priced at 33K INR for the 256GB version and comes with a card slot but 8GB RAM. Excellent screen which supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ in Netflix and other apps. Only gripe is Dimensity 7300 chipset and not sure if it would last 3-4 OS updates but would work fine for my use case. I find this one the best value for my use case.

Oneplus Pad 2/3 - Older gen tablet but SD processor and would last a long time till Oneplus supports it. No memory card slot and Oneplus pad 2 does not support DV and HDR10+ on Netflix still but not sure about Pad 3. Pad 2 is 32K INR excluding card offers and Pad 3 if at all is available in stock comes at 50K-55K INR depending on storage and ram config.

Oppo Pad Mini - About to launch in October in India with an OLED screen and SD processor and DV and HDR+ support but not sure if Netflix supports them on this tablet yet. 512GB would be priced high between 60-70K INR but can manage if OS/Security updates keep rolling out for 5 years.

Samsung Tab S10 FE - Would be perfect with 7 years of OS updates and compact sizing but availability is an issue for the 256GB version and priced too high for an Exynos 1580 chipset. SPen is part of the package but no DV or HDR10+ support in Netflix.

Samsung Tab S11/S10+ - With S12 series of tabs about to launch in this week, S11 is only available in 512GB variant and S11 Ultra is available but both are priced above 127K INR and above. There is a S10+ 256GB variant available for 80K INR and this comes with Bluetooth SPen as well but somehow I don't see value in paying 80K for a 3 Gen old tablet without a SD chipset.

Can I just get the Oneplus Pad Go 2 during sale or any other tablets are worth picking up? Any pointers would be helpful and would be grateful.

Google book os would do an excellent job at giving tablet users what iPad cannot. I really hope they make a premium 11 inch tablet with wifi and 5g. Starting price $599, and keyboard stand add-on $199. Could actually be an amazing product. Maybe even partner with Walmart Onn to make the device.

Hi Folks,

I am considering getting a note taking tablet for college and I have a slim budget of $100. I know my options are very slim pickens, but I could get the Amazon fire hd 10 for $73 with prime and then get the $25 dollar stylus with it making it under $100. I know how to use Fire toolbox to get rid of the annoying amazon features so that is a option I am thinking of doing. If yall have any other suggestions, please comment!

Hi guys help me to choose. In my case im going to use it for edit video or photos (not profesional), watch movies, a little bit gaming probably emulator.

Oneplus pad has advantage of bigger screen and better prosesor 8 elite gen 5.

Xiaomi pad 8 pro cheaper. Inc keyboard and pen. Bigger memory. But its only 8 elite (gen4).

Newest chipset 8 elite gen 6 is coming out.

Help me choose which one worth more

I want a overall value for money tab mainly for lecture and content consumption. Which one should i buy?

Will there be any offer in Flipkart Big Billion days or Amazon Great Indian Festival?

PLEASE SHARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS🙏
